Cody Gibson today spoke to Sherdog Radio, expressing that he was not proud of what happened, but believed he wouldn’t be disciplined by the UFC.
Following his loss to Manny Gamburyan, UFC bantamweight Cody Gibson stayed in Vegas for a few days of fun with friends. Unfortunately spending time in Vegas and at nightclubs can lead to trouble, and Gibson found himself in an altercation that was captured on video and posted by TMZ:
Gibson today spoke to Sherdog Radio, expressing that he was not proud of what happened, but believed he wouldn’t be disciplined by the UFC:
This guy was being a typical kind of bro and started saying some stuff to me. At first, I told him I did not want to fight, two or three times. He was definitely egging on the situation, and then he started to irritate me, said Gibson, who admitted to being intoxicated at the time. Then I told him who I was, which was probably the worst idea, because then, after that, I feel like he really wanted to fight. And then, yeah, man, one thing led to another. I don’t know, man. [It’s] definitely not something I’m proud of.
When he punched me, luckily I didn’t start throwing punches. Luckily, I just shot the takedown and his buddies kind of grabbed on to me, and it was done by that point. I’m actually fortunate that it kind of ended the way it did. Had I beat the hell out of him or something, I think it could be a whole lot worse situation.
